How Pricing Works
Working with a travel advisor does not cost you extra. Here is how the money works, start to finish, so there are no surprises.
Free Consultation Call
Every trip starts with a short, no-obligation call. You tell Christine where you want to go, who is coming, and what the budget looks like — and you decide if she’s the right fit. No cost, no pressure.
No Planning Fee — the Suppliers Pay Her
Cruise lines, tour operators, and resorts pay Christine a commission when you book. Her work is included at no charge to you:
- Trip research and supplier pricing
- Cabin or room selection help
- Deposit and payment-plan setup
- Payment deadline reminders
- Documents and pre-trip guidance
- A real person to call if plans change
What Shapes the Cost of Your Trip
Exact fare depends on the trip itself. Factors that move the number include:
- Cabin or room category
- Sail or departure date
- Number of travelers
- What the package includes
Group departures publish their own deposit and final payment date on each trip page.
A planned trip, a payment plan, and a person to call — at no planning fee
You reserve with a deposit, pay at your own pace up to the final payment date, and Christine handles the supplier. The price you pay is the supplier’s price.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
No. You never pay Christine a planning fee. Cruise lines, tour operators, and resorts pay her a commission when you book, and the price you pay is the supplier's price. The consultation call is free too.
Hosted group cruises on lines like Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Norwegian, Virgin Voyages, and Disney; escorted small group tours to places like Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, South Africa, and the Holy Land; adults-only all-inclusives; and celebration trips for anniversaries, milestone birthdays, and bachelorette parties.
Yes — first-time cruisers are a specialty. Christine helps you pick the right ship and cabin, explains documents and gratuities, and walks you through what the first day on board actually feels like. There is no such thing as a silly question on the call.
No. Christine is based in Huntsville, Alabama, but planning happens by phone and video, so she works with travelers nationwide. Many group departures draw travelers from all over the country.
Each group trip has set dates and a published itinerary. You read the trip page, get on a free call to confirm it fits, and reserve your spot with a per-person deposit. From there you pay at your own pace up to the final payment date listed on the trip page.
Yes. Solo travelers join these departures all the time — you travel with a built-in group instead of going alone. Ask on the call about rooming options for solo travelers on the specific trip you're eyeing.
Christine runs her own practice as an independent advisor affiliated with InteleTravel, a host agency. That affiliation gives her access to supplier pricing and booking systems, while you work directly with her — one person, start to finish.
The price is the same, but you get a person. Christine compares options for you, handles the reservation and payment deadlines, and is the one you call when plans change — instead of a website's hold music.
Book the free consultation call and you can usually talk to Christine within a few days. Group departures can be reserved the same day if the trip fits; custom trips take a little longer to price with suppliers.
Yes. The call is free, no-obligation, and no card is required. You'll leave knowing which trips fit your dates and budget, whether or not you book.
Not sure which trip fits you?
That's what the call is for. Leave your number and Christine will help you work it out.
